Information Technology 2 offers a continuation of Information Technology 1 by expanding upon each topic while using typed code.
Information Technology 2 offers a learning progression beyond Information Technology 1. Utilizing similar applications and concepts initially, Information Technology 2 dives into actual coding for each application, as well as a more intermediate look into each area of study. Information Technology 2 can act as a starting point for older or more advanced students and can also act as a great reinforcement to the concepts learned in Information Technology 1 as students will explore each area in more depth, work with actual code (instead of block code), work with several new applications and technologies, and complete many different projects.
Students will receive a base understanding of web technologies using HTML and CSS languages to produce web pages. Specifically, students will work with text, lists, images, links, styling, tables, and forms. Students will finish this lesson by completing a sample company web page project.
Students will explore pixel art technology and learn many different concepts to create game art inspired pixel tiles. These tiles will be integrated into a tilemap editor. At the end of this lesson, students will have a tileset that can be integrated into a platform style video game.
Students will use the JavaScript programming language to create JavaScript code that will interact with web pages they created in the previous lesson. Specifically, students will create functions to interact with forms and data. Students will complete a project at the end of this lesson.
Students will explore a 3D game application and use JavaScript to build a basic 3D video game. Specifically, students will use resources, textures, objects, and coding to produce interactive game elements. By the end of this lesson, students will have completed a simple 3D game project.
Using Linux simulation software, students will learn the basics of interacting with the Linux operating system from the command line. Students will learn how to navigate the Linux filesystem, edit files, and the basics of system administration. Students will complete a quiz at the end of this lesson.
Students will use HTML and JavaScript to produce web-based, interactive virtual reality worlds. Specifically, students will learn how to incorporate 3D models, work with animation, assets, textures, lighting, physics concepts, and create interactive elements using JavaScript. Students will complete this lesson by creating a unique, web-based, virtual reality world using code.
Students will gain an understanding of 3D printing and use a coding application to produce 3D models. Students will specifically learn programming concepts to complete a project by the end of this lesson.
Students will use the Python programming language to program simulated robots. Specifically, the programs will utilize simulated sensors to navigate through obstacles and mazes. Students will solve a problem at the conclusion of this module.
Students will complete a capstone portfolio project highlighting every area of learning. Students will build a portfolio website showcasing all the projects they have created throughout this course.
